　As I lay down, I recognized the "Thirteen Month".

　For example, in the dormitory. There was Beth, holding her head in her room, trembling.

　Even though she was a "girl", Beth couldn't recognize "girl".

　In other words, the most important thing for her was a girl.

　Beth's whole body was shaking with the memories that had flowed in, or rather, that she had recovered.

　――When she was an "Old human", she lost her husband in the war at a young age. She was a very mentally immature mother. She was, in fact, less mentally mature for her age than her average age. Forever, she was determined to be loved and protected like a girl. It was due to her childhood upbringing.

　Her mother disappeared shortly after giving birth to her, and her father immediately took in the woman who had been his mistress.

　Later, Beth's stepmother soon gave birth to her younger brother, she grew up being treated by the family as if she didn't exist. There was a huge lack of basic trust. As she grew older, she acquired a feminine behavior that made her more likely to be loved by the opposite sex, as if she were spurred on by the inadequacy of her heart. In fact, she attracted the hearts of childhood friends and boys from rather wealthy families, but not long after she was of age, she was married to an older man with a large dowry, as if she were sold off by her parents.

　In the man's house, besides her, there were concubines. Of course, there was also a real wife. There were also children. She gave birth to only one daughter. Eventually, my husband went to the war zone and died unexpectedly. The war intensified. Humans all knew that the environment was degrading and that the sun was in very bad condition.

　She was kicked out of her husband's house, including her daughter, who had just turned ten.

　Unable to return to her birthplace, she retreated to a half-ruined apartment complex. It was her only daughter who listened to her story with kindness, comforted her, teased her, and sometimes procured food. Beth became dependent on her daughter, sometimes beating her in pain. She became silent and devoted herself to her mother, Beth.

　It was as if the mother and child had been reversed.

　One day, a man from a rather wealthy, who had fallen in love with her at a young age, found out where she was. She was as youthful and beautiful as ever, because of her survival strategy. but it was the struggle of her young daughter that kept it up.

　The man's name was Jean.

　He already had a wife. But he regretted that his love affair with Beth had not been fulfilled in the past. his longing continued to smolder like a whirl fire. Beth became Jean's mistress.

　Jean thought her daughter was a hindrance. he was thinking of adopt Beth's daughter and give her to someone else's home, or her getting married as soon as possible and kicking out.

　One of the people who spoke out against it was Nicola, Beth's childhood friend. He, too, continued to have a crush on Beth. He remained a bachelor and at the same time a researcher of artificial intelligence.

　Nicolas taunted Jean, saying that it was crazy of him to try to kick his daughter out. Nicola kept telling Beth that she had to settle her relationship with such a man. Jean and Nicolas quarreled.

　My daughter watched the whole thing from the back room. At first glance, Nicola seems to be more faithful than Jean.

　but her daughter, due to her high level of observation of people due to her upbringing, realizes that Nicola is also really only seeking to win her mother, Beth, and is only saying this to make Beth think that he is a better person and worth choosing, not Jean.

　A smart man fabricates the words and character that are required, even if he does not mean it, in order to gain practical gain.

　Right. That's why the most important thing for Jean was "to protect the woman who was hurt", and Nicolas was a "happy mother and child." Gaining the self to protect the "happy mother and child" was the avatar that Nicola wanted.

　In the midst of all this, a solar flare of extreme magnitude finally occurred.

　The four of them went to the institute with a glimmer of hope for the survivability of "Both ends of Ciel," which they had learned from Nicola's position as a researcher. And it did.

　However, their arrival came too late.

　What awaited them in "Both ends of Ciel" was Rye-A, the first ultra-high-class artificial intelligence client type created by Dr. Yukari Amano.

　Rye-A told Beth and the others the secret of the "Both ends of Ciel" theme park.

"The only body we can offer to turn you into a cyborg is the androids who played the character in the story at the theme park Phyllis's Londonderry Air."
